"The sickening commercializaton, Hollywoodization and watering down of the arts has made them, on the whole"
Budokan, I sympathize with you, the problem is everything is being hypermarketed and commmercialized. In the US, I dont know if you guys have this problem elsewhere, it is finally come down to the almighty dollar. MA for example, how many people teach JUST to teach? Sometimes its what you want to make your living at, and I can respect that, but even the martial arts has fallen to the quick fix, I want now society.
For me it isnt just the martial arts, its EVERYTHING. I look around me everyday and am disgusted by over marketing, commercialization, publicizing, selling, its effin ridiculous! Americans cant live thier own lives anymore, they must have them lived for them. Look at the popularity of "reality" shows, its pathetic, get up of your azzes and live your own **** life for a change!
I say someone pushes the big red button and we start over......
